Above: Five-year-old Remington Hutton took off his shoes, rolled up his cuffs and cast a fishing line into Pleasure Island trout pond and let time just stand still. There is nothing like a lazy day on a dock just casting a line and waiting for a nibble. Camrose and District Fish and Game Association Pleasure Island is the perfect place to kick back. Maintained by volunteers, this beautiful little gem of a place offers so much – fishing at a well-stocked pond, walking trails, making use of picnic areas, and enjoying the natural amphitheatre and observations sites, all in a serene natural setting. For more information on Pleasure Island, see inside story on page 2.

Central Agencies Realty Home of the Week

Beautiful Daysland home

By Lori Larsen

The benefits of a small community close enough to all the city amenities await you in this beautiful two-storey home located in the town of Daysland.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level of the home offer plenty of space for your growing family, but there is more. The basement has a fully developed suite that would be perfect for an income rental or a fully contained in-law suite.

Once you step inside, you will stand in awe of the grand curved staircase that anchors the front entry. A large front living room features a bayed window where you can arrange a cozy sitting area, then the living room flows seamlessly into a dining area and open kitchen.

Imagine preparing meals for the family or gathering friends around the island in this wonderful kitchen–the hub of the home. Lots of counter space, a centre island with cooktop, and double ovens will inspire you to cook up a storm.

Then move into the sunken family room with the chateau-like brick

fireplace to enjoy conversations or cuddling. The sunroom is another great place to gather and take in all the seasons. Completing the main floor is a convenient two-piece powder room and spacious laundry. Retreat to the upper floor and a bonus room that would be perfect for a children’s play area, the primary bedroom complete with a gorgeous updated en suite and walk-in closet, three more bedrooms and a renovated four-piece main bathroom. The basement suite has a large living area with adjoining fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a threepiece bathroom. A separate entrance allows for privacy for everyone. Take in the great outdoors sitting on the two-tiered deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard with a large concrete patio area. Enjoy raising your family in a small town atmosphere in this beautiful home located at 5101-58 Street, Daysland and priced well within budget at $330,000.

SUMMER VACATION EDITION

Going on a trip. Need about four out ts. I’ ve packed 35 just to be safe. My husband doesn’t always per form a full maintenance check on the car, but when he does, it’s when the whole family is packed and sitting in the car ready to go on a road trip. It doesn’t matter how old you get , buying snacks for a road trip should always look like an unsuper vised nine-year- old was given $100. It’s not a family vacation until someone threatens to throw a prized possession from a moving vehicle. My favourite childhood memory is someone else paying for my holidays. No one is full of more false hope than a parent organizing car ride activities before a long road trip. Parents don’t really go on vacation. They just take care of their kids in a di erent place. Before getting married, you should be required to go on a road trip. If your relationship can sur vive 10 or more hours of your partner panic gasping ever y time you speed up and change lanes, you’re meant to be. Being a mom means packing for the whole family for a road trip and forgetting your own under wear. Me going on a trip to literally any where: “Should I move here?” I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just want a paycheque to fund my holidays. It’s not a family road trip without the instant regret of taking a family road trip. Just heard someone asking for directions in a gas station like our forefathers did. My husband suggests that I sleep when we take road trips, but then who would give him helpful information like, “The light is red!” or “That car is stopping!”? When y ’all see me in my swimsuit at the beach, mind your own business. I thought we were going to die for the last t wo years so I’ ve been snacking. I just realized the paper towels by the gas pump are for wiping away tears af ter lling your gas tank . Make sure you take binoculars when you go on your once-a-year hiking trip so when you take frequent stops, it looks like you’re appreciating God’s creation and not ghting for your life. My husband just told me he wants a divorce. Actually, his exact words were “I think it would be cool for the whole family to live in an RV and travel the countr y for a year,” but tomato to -mah-to. Parents: Oh good, the hotel has a pool. Also, oh no, the hotel has a pool. First “normal” summer in t wo years and each day is costing $500. If you see me packing for a 10- day trip while sweating, cussing and dropping fruit snacks on the ground, just know that we’re actually just going to the pool and we will be home in about an hour. Barbecue at my house tomorrow. Bring a grill and some meat . I’ ve got paper plates. Sleeping is hard in the summer because blankets are too warm, but without them, I am vulnerable to monsters. Europeans: “I drove for 45 minutes to spend a weekend in France, then stopped in Germany to visit some friends on my way home. ” Canadians: “I was in southern Alber ta and I drove nor th for 12 hours. Now I’m still in Alber ta.” We’ ve reached the stage of our roadtrip with children when I’m hiding in a gas station bathroom for some peace and quiet . There should be sympathy cards for having to go back to work af ter a vacation.
